The Cold War has heated back up. Russia was just biding time.
I wonder what Bush thinks about his buddy Putin now?
Putin will accomplish without a shot what Hitler tried by blowing up Europe. The average European is a far left socialist, and they hate "the American way" of capitalism. Nato is dead, and Putin knows that full well. Europe wants Russian energy...needs Russian energy, and they want to see the USA on its knees.
Better get used to these incursions by Russia and eventually by China. There are no consequences.
We have borrowed ourselves into a corner; we're weak and irresolute; our large body of population won't fight for anything but Black Friday electronics and parking places; and, our leftist media exists as an organ of the money-lender/merchant/Zionists.
Feel the draft from behind? Yep, it's open.
